Chapter 20The ECG in Different Clinical Set of Ischemic Heart Disease Introduction From exercise angina to acute coronary syndrome, and myocardial infarction Myocardial ischemia can occur through two different pathophysiological…
Chapter 5The Electrophysiological Basis of the ECG: From Cell Electrophysiology to the Human ECG Types of cardiac cells: slow and fast response cells (Hoffman and Cranefield 1960) From an electrophysiological…
Chapter 10Ventricular Enlargement Concept: preliminary considerations The electrocardiographic concept of chamber enlargement includes wall hypertrophy, chamber dilation, and a combination of the two. Anatomically, the term “ventricular hypertrophy” refers to…
Chapter 15Active Supraventricular Arrhythmias Premature supraventricular complexes Concept and mechanisms Premature supraventricular complexes are premature complexes of supraventricular origin. These include those of atrial (A‐PSVC) and atrioventricular junctional origin (J‐PSVC)….
Chapter 9Atrial Abnormalities Introduction This chapter examines the electrocardiographic abnormalities seen in atrial depolarization (P wave) caused by atrial enlargement and/or atrial conduction disturbances, including the rare cases of atrial…
